title: A multi-electrode array coupled with fiberoptic for deep-brain optical neuromodulation and electrical recording.
abstract: In this paper we developed an integrated device comprised of a multi-electrode array coupled with optical fiber for deep-brain optical stimulation and electrical recording. We characterized the array device both electrically and optically, and conducted in vivo experiments on free moving rats for validation. This design of array device provides a viable tool for neuromodulation and neural signal acquisition in optogenetics and in other fields of neuroscience studies perspectively.
